Hi, just wondering what the recipe for royal icing is that you use? I find that mine always ends up with a royal icing that is too brittle once dried... thanks!

@lannterg Hello tanks for your interest and here's my recipe for Royal Icing:

500 grams of icing sugar (I have used both icing mixture and pure icing sugar - both work fine), 3 tablespoons of Actiwhite (this is a dried egg white powder ... it can be hard to get) and about 1/4 cup of water. I add the water gradually until I have a mix that is not too stiff and not too runny ... the amount of water required can depend on the weather. If you can't get the Actiwhite you can just use egg whites.
